«Wunderbare Jahre» is a travel and memoir book by Sibylle Berg, published by dtv Verlagsgesellschaft in paperback (192 pages, in German).
Sibylle Berg revisits the travels of an era when the world seemed full of possibilities and contrasts them with a present of attacks, wars and environmental disasters. Passages from London, Vienna, Kosovo, Tel Aviv, Bangladesh, Thailand, South Africa and Brazil sustain the question of whether it is still worth going out to discover the world or whether only deciding where to flee remains.
The work first appeared in 2016; this dtv edition, with illustrations by Isabel Kreitz, was released in May 2018.
For readers of non-fiction, travel writing and reflections on today's world.
